At the beginning of this course, in application week one, I said that the teacher is the individual who is in charge to transfer the knowledge to the learners, therefore , it is very important for us educators to implement the appropriate learning style that suites our students minds to ensure success for all learners. I also said that because I work in a diverse community, and most of the students are bilingual. For this reason, I need to incorporate all the learning styles in the lessons because those who do not speak English well, learning through aural or reading/writing learning styles would be ineffective. Thus, I will not change my teaching philosophy; however, I will improve my teaching style with the new instructional strategies I learned throughout this course. Moreover, I would always teach my lessons based on my students’ learning styles.
Throughout this course, I learned many instructional strategies that will benefit my students. I have learned about many tools that I never heard of or used before. One of these tools is the c-map tool. It is an advanced organizer, which will help my students focus their learning better on the lessons. Another technology tool is the voice thread, which I believe will enhance my students learning.
My two long-term goal changes that I would like to make to my instructional practice is I would like to use the nonlinguistic representation strategy because I believe it will help my bilingual students learn better. Moreover, to enhance my students’ achievement, I will provide them with immediate feedback.
In fact, this course has provided me with many strategies and technology tools that can benefit my students’ learning as well as me.
